Oracle 10g EM Dbconsole will not start up!

Hello...
I'm running Oracle 10g (10.2.0.1) on RHEL4. My listener, database and Oracle HTTP Server are up and running. The sole purpose of this database is to run Oracle Application Express applications. The oracle apex applications are all running fine.

However, I cannot for the life of me get Oracle EM (dbconsole) running. I've tried everything but obviously not the right thing. I can't console to my running database? It keeps failing everytime I start it. I've looked at some logs but I don't know what I'm looking for. Oracle EM was running just fine on Friday, but wouldn't come up Monday morning.

My url for EM is http://172.23.183.169:1158/em
At the terminal session prompt I type >emctl start dbconsole
It comes back after a 5 minute timeout saying it failed. It appears that the agent (3938) does not want to start.
Here is some log info further below...
Please let me know what direction I should go on to resolve this. Thx!
Regards,
Ken

Is your Database and listener working?

% lsnrctl status
% ps -ef | grep pmon

...yes my database is up and running...here is the results from what you requested above. The instance is called 'apex'. It is currently running Oracle Application Express applications which are working just fine. I just can't get in to the dbconsole for the life of me. The database server has a static ip address of 172.23.183.169.

Thx!
Ken

This is Linux.
To achive good functionality all
needed environment variables should be set.

% printenv

will show you the variables.
OEM uses ORACLE_SID to know which DB to access.
Check if it is set correctly.
Also PATH has to have entry to Oracle Home directory.

Hi Schwertner,
Thx for the reply. I'll rebuilt the OEM repository as you recommended. My environmental variables are below that you wanted to see. Another question for you...why does my TNS Listener say that it has...2 instances for my service/sid 'apex'??  I have only one database instance on this machine named 'apex.'  (TNS Listener Status is pasted in its entirety above in my previous message)

Service "apex" has 2 instance(s).
  Instance "apex", status UNKNOWN, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
  Instance "apex", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...

Is this normal and ok??

Thx
Ken

You have two entries in "LISTENER STATUS", because the first entry
seems to be the initial and the second is after registration of the
instance by the listener.
The main thing you have to pay attention is if you can
connect normally to the instance from other machine.
If not - you will need some additional simple
changes in the Listener config files.
Hi Schwertner,
Welcome back from your trip! I went ahead and rebuilt my OEM Repository as you suggested and some interresting things happened.

>emca -config dbcontrol db -repos recreate

Although the repository created successfully, I got an error saying that dbcontrol could not start up as ports were in use. "SEVERE: Cannot start Database Control. The following ports are already in use: [Database Control HTTP port:1158 EM agent port:3938 RMI port for Database Control:5520 JMS port for Database Control:5540]."

This is the only database instance running on this machine. I'm confused as to why it would be giving me this error. Why does it think that these ports are in use?

Here's the output from the command, the log file, and a netstat -l listing showing which ports are listening.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thx!
Ken

Hi Schwertner,
Thx for all your help. I thought I'd let you know that I finally got the problem resolved. I had to call Oracle Support and they worked thru the problem with me. Believe it or not, it turned out to be a simple problem that caused a big mess. My 'hosts' file (/etc/hosts) was not set correctly. I did not have the fully qualified domain name set for the host/machine name. Once it was set we went thru dropping the repository, recreating it, and the configuring it. Afterwards everything went back to running beautifully. The Oracle support person mentioned how Oracle 10g EM is very sensitive to the host name as many parts of the Web Admin interface reference the java components by means of the host name.

I thought you'd be interrested in the update. Thx again for everything and all your help. I truly appreciate it. I'm sure we'll be talking again in this forum! ;-)

Kind Regards,
Ken
Hello Ken,

really the Linux installations aree very taugh!
But in this case I think you will not be able to connect to
the DB via SQP*Plus from other machine.

I am very glad that you have solved the problem.

Best Regards

Joe
